First Day of Shopping Boycott in Croatia Ends
Zagreb, February 8 (CP) – Although consumers’ organisations across the country are not in possession of data regarding how many consumers stayed off shopping the first full day of the shopping boycott, the are pleased with the response of the public and are calling on them to keep up the boycott for another six days in a bid for shop owners, chains and producers to cut prices.
The consumers’ organisations representatives have said that despite this protest, prices were rising daily with announcements of fertilizer prices going up 44 percent and pushing up the prices of food even further.
It has been stated that the shopping boycott was not aimed at anyone in particular, but the chain of production and sales in general.
The boycott is to end next Friday and the consumer associations are hoping it will have the exact effect it had in Italy and Greece – the cutting of prices of overpriced food items.
